They forgot to talk about DISEASE.  The way she flopped in every facet.

They should have brought up Disease and Harlequin too. They were each definitely unmitigated catastrophes of their own.

Disease is outstreaming Katy Perry's entire album which just got a deluxe version, and yet Gaga's one song is still outstreaming it daily. 
 

Basically Katy Perry made sure they don't talk about Disease by bombing so hard that it made Disease look like a big success, hope this helps, Brit Brit stans  

[FOCK]

Thee floppery of it all. 
 

So fortunate to stan an artist that continues to set & break records, sell, & remains at the undeniable top of her musical field, 15 years into her career. Not everybody has that. That's sad. 

[JoeAg]

how the f*ck is Gaga a flop when she has one of the biggest songs in the world right now  also this is so weird that the BBC would even post a list like this tbh, it's getting boring

Im not a fan of either of those girls but maybe in 2025 let's stop parading BBC around like an authoritative source when the UK is actively revolting and campaigning against its very existence in the modern day, LOL

You can't argue with facts.

This is the proof that 2024 was a bad year.

"Delulu" when I kid learn a new word...

 

Also, if that bomb enters against is the surviving remaining radio points after Christmas.

 

And also once more, if I remember well , Never really over had today's top hits invest less than Disease. So if passes Daisies 7 weeks it should pass NRO 13 weeks too isn't?

 

#1 on today top hits 

Disease in 

NRO OUT.

 

It's the minimum I wait from Gaga.

 

Also it's a lot of shame WW Lifetimes and IHHM without Today's top hit manage to enter hot 100/bubbling under and Happy mistakes INSIDE TTHs not to overcome any of those songs.

All of them out streamed it.

All of them has more accumulate.

 

So good luck trying to mask Gaga's failure solo with Bruninho and calling others "Delulu".

Not that person ignoring that Disease is outstreaming entire 143 album + it's brand new 4 tracks deluxe version and talking about Daisies

Here's the link, as it's clear the OP brings in Gaga as sole responsible of Joker bombing for bait: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jy3v2lpweo

 

The article doesn't mention or single out Gaga, her performance in it, nor any of her outputs (Harlequin, Disease), making it clear this is about the movie. Katy however, is the one making the headlines:

From Katy Perry's comeback to the Joker sequel: 15 celebrity flops and fails of 2024

Quote

1. Katy Perry's comeback

Quote

2. Joker bombing at the box office

Making a sequel to 2019's Joker, which grossed more than $1bn (£790m), was something Hollywood found simply irresistible. 

Unfortunately, the resulting film, Joker: Folie à Deux, was something audiences found entirely resistible. 

Making the film a musical was a bold swing, but the tonal handbrake turn alienated the fans and critics who adored the Oscar-winning original.

Folie à Deux managed to scrape over the $200m (£158m) mark, but that was barely enough to cover its production budget, let alone marketing costs. 

It wasn't the only movie flop of the year - audiences were also unenthusiastic about Madame Web, The Fall Guy, Kraven the Hunter, Megalopolis, Borderlands, Argylle, Unstoppable and Furiosa: A Mad Max Story.

The article also leaves behind the fact that Katy's backlash was majorly warranted for going back to a rapist producer.

Disease alone outcharting every Katy Perry's album and single since 2020 combined 💀

You guys can keep trying it but in the real world people definitely don't think they're in the same boat.

The general public does not make rankings to decide what popgirl is bigger/better 

They have no freaking idea what song is flopping and what song is smashing. They only think something might be successful if they hear it often on TV/Radio/clubs.

 

And as other people have already said it, there is a real lack of interest for both women's (own) projects.

The mental gimnastics

 

How is it mental gymnastics when there's 0 mentions of Lady Gaga's name while they clearly name-drop Katy Perry? Perhaps they (like most of the real world) understand that the film's failure had nothing to do with the acting? Shocker, I know.

[Shinning]

2024 was kinda the worst year of Gaga's career. It'll be interesting to see how she bounces back from the 1-2 BOMBS of Joker FAD & Disease (I suppose more collabs are on the horizon).

Oh so JFAD (the only thing mentioned in this article) is Gaga's "own" project, but Die with a smile, a song that Lady Gaga released is not her own project?   Katy and Britney might be in the same boat of irrelevance, but Gaga who has the biggest song of the year/decade certainly isn't.

The way nobody said anything about the gp ranking the girls 

 

The tea is that in my lived experience people have come up to me in work and asked if I've heard die with a smile. People who I do know watched the joker were interested in seeing Gaga. You guys are so caught up in the numbers that you are forgetting the people who listened to disease thought it was at least an ok song. All the attention and press katy has been getting was met with overwhelming negativity. The GP doesn't know what's going on with her period beside maybe seeing the odd tiktok dragging her.

 

But you guys already know this I guess yall just want kiis or something.

[Misguided Ghost]

The way Katy has demolished every future chance of possible success is crazy  She had one job and that was to have a little bit of rebrand and most importantly good music, but this girl still lives in 2010.

That's Gaga's problem too though, Disease is dated as ****. The difference here is that Gaga is actually talented and has the chops to release something creative, she needs to maybe take some time off and get inspired again. Acting is a cute side job, but I doubt she'll ever be as successful in it as she wishes to be.
